The Court of Appeal, Abuja, has nullified the victory of the Senate Minority Leader, Simon Mwadkwon, representing Plateau North- Senatorial District in the National Assembly.

In a unanimous judgment, the three-member panel led by Justice Daudu Williams held that the PDP did not validly nominate Mwadkwon.

The panel held that it is their view that court orders were not fully complied with by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as 12 Local Government Areas did not participate in the congress.

The court also ordered a rerun for the Plateau North Senatorial seat to be conducted in 90 days.

The court cited non-compliance with a subsisting court order from the Plateau State High Court made in 2020 for the PDP to conduct Congress before nominations as a key factor in their decision.

The panel at the Appellate court led by Justice Okon Abang also nullified the victory of PDP’s Musa Avia representing Bassa North in the House of Representatives.
